Display port and thunderbolt are two different ports. Which one is it? Or does this cable work on both? I'm a mac newbie.

The cable plugs into the Thunderbolt port on my MacBook Air on one side, and the other end plugs into the HDMI input on the TV.Hope this helps!

Mini Display and Thunderbolt are the same from what I understand - My Macbook Air has a thunderbolt and it works fine.

It for sure works on thunderbolt port as an audio video cable to an external moniter (TV).

The only thing you need to know is that Thunderbolt was based off of the miniDisplayPort. Both cables work for monitors or any high-resolution displays, but Thunderbolt has an added use. It can now transfer high-performance data. It is faster than USB 2, Firewire, and USB 3. The ports look the same, but this cable is only Displayport. It works in both ports but does not transfer data. Hope this helps!

Display port (DP) and Thunderbolt use the same connection. The thunderbolt wire is a higher quality video connection, but the port itself is interchangeable between the two wires. I found an informative article on Wikipedia @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_%28interface%29. I use the thunderbolt to directly connect my Macbook to the HDMI port on my television.

I don't know if this answers the question but it basically its a HDMI to thunderbolt cable. You plug the thunderbolt to your mac and the HDMI should be connected to your television.

Yes this works with a display port and thunderbolt.A display port on a Mac only works with displays and display related cables (such as this one), the thunderbolt supports both display and data transfer (such as an ethernet adapter). Thunderbolt is just a more advanced display port that can do more.If you're machine is new, then it would have a thunderbolt port (identified by a lightning bolt symbol). A display only port's symbol is a square in-between two vertical lines like this |□|

Yeah you should be able to. We think this cable is amazing because we don't need any other attachment. We leave it plugged to the TV HDMI slot, then just plug the thunderbolt end to our mac pro when needed. After the initial set-up on your mac settings for display and audio, it automatically mirrors when connected. Love it!

The thunderbolt cable only works with the Apple thunderbolt monitor. You can get a thunderbolt adapter that will change it to DVI/VGA/HDMI fairly cheap

It has a display port in addition to the USB ports but I don't know if that's the same as a Thunderbolt port. Sorry I can't offer more help. Note the packaging does not list Thunderbolt amongst its ports/capabilities.

No, I built this as a editing machine for solid works, and at my last job had two thunderbolt displays connected daisy chaining two more externals. In total I have 4 monitors running on this computer without issue. The ports are at a standard distance way from each other that two thunderbolt cables connect perfectly.

Should work so long as Display Port used. Understood originally that was similar to Mac Thunderbolt monitor without some features and perhaps notch below in quality.

Yeah. Mini display and thunderbolt are the same size/thing. Works perfect with my MacBook Air.

Yes, the thunderbolt port on late 2011 Macbook Pro models doubles as a mini displayport.

it has the normal (large) dp cable on both ends you would need something like this --&gt; http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00HNF0KF0/ref=zg_bs_6795232011_4 or http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00C7RJQPY/ref=zg_bs_6795232011_1 Hope the info Helps

I think it does, I have a 13" Macbook pro with the thunderbolt and the 4th generation macbook air has it too: " The Thunderbolt port on the right-hand side can daisychain up to six Thunderbolt peripherals and also supports MiniDisplayPort devices (and, via an adapter, VGA, DVI and HDMI monitors too). " so you could give it a try. So far mine works super.

yes, the mini displayport is Thunderbolt compatible. You only get the video out portion, but it is how I use my large Dell monitor to my Mac.

I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and it works fine between my MBP and my Yamakasi 2560 x 1440 monitor with Display Port input. I haven't personally tried it with a MacPro, but I don't see why it would not work since we're dealing with the same port standards. Perhaps you can give it a try. If it doesn't work you can return it.

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (late 2013) and I am using this stand and two monitors. I am using the Thunderbolt/Displayport ports to drive DP and DVI monitors. I got the cables (Mini DisplayPort to Display Port and Mini DisplayPort to DVI) from here on Amazon from Cable Matters and the cables are well made and work perfectly.

Thunderbolt came out only in 2011. Those iMacs don't carry that port. In a few words... That cable will never work in those mac's unless you buy a firewire-thunderbolt converter adapter. Good Luck!!

It looks like the Thunderbolt displays require an Apple VESA adapter plate available here:http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD179ZM/A/vesa-mount-adapter-kit-for-imac-andled-cinemaor-applethunderbolt-display

I don't own a Mac but from what i have seen Mac has a mini display port, so this cable will not work with it.
